The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is proud to advance the Advancing Women's Health Coverage Act (AWHCA) with our congressional champions and advocacy groups such as Susan G. Komen.
There have always been men who have placed unique value on self-care and maintaining a clean, sophisticated or suave appearance. Whether due to availability, social media reducing the sting of surgery stigma or a sense of increased competition during tough economic times, more men are looking to plastic surgeons for that self-care.
Most plastic surgery procedures cause some scarring. Patients often determine the success of their surgery by how visible the scars are. Scarring is inevitable with surgery, but there are many different ways to make them less noticeable.
"So, you always have to do these procedures for yourself, and I think that's the key thing. Don't do it for others."
C. Bob Basu, MD, MBA, MPH, FACS, has been named president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the world's largest organization of board-certified plastic surgeons.
